Natsume

Japanese name:

夏目

Natsume is a rival of Sae's from class D. She later develops feelings for Sae while still maintaining her generally antagonistic attitude. In a bonus chapter in volume four of the manga, Natsume goes through various misfortunes on her first day arriving to school. Unable to find her shoebox and ready to break down, Sae shows up to help her, in which she develops strong feelings for her. At the end, as weeks pass, Natsume manages to bump into Sae only to find her already close to Hiro, in which she reacts crudely to Sae. Ever since, she has been trying to hide her feelings especially while in the presence of Sae (but ironically attempting to communicate with her at the same time), by acting nonchalantly.
